Tubular Bells is an iconic release

I'm amazed to see Larks' Tongues in Aspic has twice as many votes as Tubular Bells.

Also Ommadawn is more popular (rightfully imo) followed by Amarok. I remember doing a list of my favourite MO albums and Tubular Bells just scraped into the top ten!

I'm assuming it's the original version in 1973.

TB is way cool, but c'mon... This is Larks we're talking about here.

yes there must be a dozen if you include live I'm partial to the original but also love TB 3 which is far from a rehash. It's more of a world music album, which I like

I really enjoyed both Tubular Bells II and Tubular Bells III, especially when they were played Live.

Side one of Tubular Bells is the greatest piece of popular instrumental music in the last 60 years. It just doesn't reach the same heights on side two. Six Wives of Henry VIII would have made a better comparison and I would have given it to the Wakeman because it's the more complete album. However the Oldfield is a piece of inspirational genius. Larks is different again. Still my favourite King Crimson album.

I thought about voting for both but I guess Larks is the better album over all. I do love the Oldfield debut to bits. I used to do Kung Fu/Tai Chi movements to it on a daily basis. Made me strong and limber like a boa.
